One of the most powerful moments in the games history from a player of a Victorian Club during a game at a Victorian Oval against a Victorian Opponent, it should have been built at The MCG, and a long time ago!!!

There are plenty of amazing moments and achievements in WA sport without needing to transplant this to Perth.

If they do insist on putting up statues for people who never actually played a game at the new stadium, at least focus on players who played the majority of the career in the West.

As far as it from some kind of amazing ‘Racism in Sport’ moment...fine...put out the front of Victoria Park.

I gotta agree with this...I have no problems with Winmar and what he did being displayed with a statue, but surely there are more fitting people to be given a statue at the new stadium over here - Pavlich, Jakovich, Worsfold, Matera, Farmer, Cable, Lillee, Marsh, Barnett etc.

It is not about the man, rather the moment and what it stood/stands for. The sooner people come to grips with that, the better off this thread will be!
